Maybe this thread will have more Dodger homeruns in it.

Preferably with runners on before the ball leaves the park.

For the record

Per Cot’s, the Phillies opening day payroll was $113,004,046 (roughly).

I have the Dodgers end of year payroll at $107,677,650.

Wouldn't really call it a great AB

Russ hasn't been too bad

This postseason, but if we assume he’s not going to make anything of the AB, he might as well foul off six or seven and run up the pitch count.

Yes, Power

He slugged .466 over the final third of the season, despite a .252 BA

His ISO power (SLG minus BA) was his highest for any third of the season.
